Friend

凡蓄意侵蚀你的知情权或动摇你独立判断之人，绝非良友。

挚友必以赤诚相交：护你通达真相，砺你明辨之能，悍卫你的选择自由。

最需警惕那些只投喂顺耳之言者——其甜腻辞藻如雾障目，既遮蔽现实，亦消磨你直面真相的勇气。

诤言或许刺耳，却能照见潜藏之危，使你免遭倾覆之祸。

而智者尤为难得——他们既直言不讳，更以智慧与慈悲引你穿越迷思，直至悟得本心自有之答案。

Those who deliberately erode your right to know or undermine your independent judgment are no true friends.

A genuine friend engages with utter sincerity: ensuring your access to truth, sharpening your discernment, and fiercely guarding your freedom of choice.

Be most wary of those who feed you only pleasing words—their honeyed speech hangs like mist, obscuring reality and draining your courage to face it.

Though a truth-teller’s counsel may sting, it reveals hidden perils and steers you clear of ruinous missteps.

Rarer still are the wise guides—those who speak with uncompromising honesty, yet wield wisdom and compassion to lead you through confusion, until you awaken to the answers that were always yours.
